4 But in your hearts revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect, 16 keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. 1 Peter 3:15-17 The defense of the faith is not a luxury or intellectual vanity. It is a task appointed by God that you should be able to give a reason for the hope that is in you as you bear witness before the world. R. C Sproul
5 Apologetics (from Greek ἀπολογία, "speaking in defense") is the discipline of defending a position (often religious) through the systematic use of information. Christian apologetics combines Christian theology, natural theology, and philosophy to present a rational basis for the Christian faith, to defend the faith against objections and misrepresentation, and to expose error within other religions and world views. Early Christian writers (c ) who defended their faith against critics and recommended their faith to outsiders were called Apologists.
6 Biblical apologetics (Robert Dick Wilson, Gleason Archer, Norman Geisler, R. C. Sproul) concerned with the authorship and date of biblical books, biblical canon and biblical inerrancy. Moral apologetics (Jonathon Edwards, C.S. Lewis, Peter Kreeft) states that real moral obligation is a fact, and that the existence of a Moral Law is evidence for God. Scientific apologetics (Michael Behe, William Demenski, William Lane Craig) seeks to reconcile Christianity and science in regard to questions of origins, cosmology, geology, biology and physics. Experiential apologetics argue primarily that experience is self-verifying evidence for Christian faith.
7 Philosophical apologetics (Norman Geisler, William Lane Craig, R.C. Sproul) concerns itself primarily with arguments for the existence of God. Prophetic fulfillment (Blaise Paschal, Peter Stoner, Josh McDowell) argue that the fulfillment of biblical prophesies provide strong evidence for Christianity. Historical and legal evidentialism (Simon Greenleaf; John Warwick Montgomery) legal scholars claiming Western legal standards support the historicity of Christ s resurrection. Presuppositional apologetics (John Frame, Greg Bahnsen, Cornelius Van Till) claims that presuppositions are essential to any philosophical position, and that non-christian presuppositions reduce to absurdity.
8 1. We are commanded to defend the faith. 2. Apologetics helps Christians know their own faith. 3. Apologetics can help lead non-christian to belief and so to eternal salvation. 4. Apologetics can help counter the bad image Christianity has in the media and in culture. 5. Apologetics can help address the threat from false teachings and apostasy in the Church. 6. Apologetics can help stem the rise of immorality. 7. Apologetics offers a Christian alternative to the non-christian thinking and influence that is dominant in our schools and larger society.
9 To better know their own Christian faith and how to share it more effectively. To answer people s real questions, especially the questions which might hinder them from accepting the gospel. To have influence in the public square (education, media, etc.). To prevent doctrinal apostasy within the Church. To answer the false claims of cults and false religions.
10 Prove that God exists. Prove beyond any possible doubt that Christianity and the Bible witness are true. Argue people into the Kingdom of God. Take the place of the testimony of Scripture or the work of the Holy Spirit. Exclusively replace biblical, relational evangelism and discipleship.
11 In the broadest sense, atheism is the rejection of belief in the existence of deities (God, gods or supernatural beings). Arguments for atheism range from the philosophical to social and historical approaches, and include arguments that there is a lack of empirical evidence; the problem of evil; the argument from inconsistent revelations; the rejection of concepts that cannot be falsified; and the argument from nonbelief. Some atheists have adopted secular philosophies (eg. humanism and skepticism), but there is no one ideology or set of behaviors to which all atheists adhere.
12 Late 20 th -early 21 st century social and political movement in favor of atheism and secularism. It is marked by an aggressive attitude, advocating the view that religion should not simply be tolerated but should be countered, criticized, and exposed by rational argument wherever its influence arises publication of The End of Faith: Religion, Terror and the End of Reason by Sam Harris marked the beginning of a series of popular atheistic best-sellers. (Also The God Delusion in 2006 by Richard Dawkins; Breaking the Spell in 2006 by Daniel Dennett; God is Not Great in 2007 by Christopher Hitchens)
13 Richard Dawkins: English ethnologist, evolutionary biologist, known for his gene-centered view of evolution. (The Selfish Gene; The God Delusion; The Blind Watchmaker) Christopher Hitchens: English author, journalist, polemicist, debater (died 12/11). (God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything; The Portable Atheist: Essential Readings for the Non-Believer)
14 Sam Harris: American author, philosopher, neuroscientist. (The End of Faith; Letter to a Christian Nation; The Moral Landscape) Daniel Dennett: American philosopher, cognitive scientist, evolutionary biologist. (Breaking the Spell: Religion as a Natural Phenomenon; Darwin s Dangerous Idea)
15 Tolerance of pervasive myth and superstition in modern society is not a virtue. Religious fundamentalism has gone main stream and its toll on education, science, and social progress is disheartening. Wake up people!! We are smart enough now to kill our invisible gods and oppressive beliefs. It is the responsibility of the educated to educate the uneducated, lest we fall prey to the tyranny of ignorance. from The New Atheists website
16 They believe science is capable of investigating some, if not all, supernatural claims; and that the God hypothesis can be scientifically tested, but that it fails any such tests. They claim naturalism is sufficient to explain everything we observe in the universe, from distant galaxies to the origin of life, and the inner workings of the brain and consciousness. They argue it is unnecessary to introduce God or the supernatural to understand or explain reality. Disagreeing with Stephen Jay Gould, they oppose science and religion being confined to non-overlapping domains. They accuse religious beliefs and believers of being irrational, and claim religion has been responsible for much of the suffering and evil in the world. They seek to politically reduce the influence of religion, especially in the U.S., promote mainstream acceptance of atheism, and promote an atheist identity.
17 Why we believe God exists. (arguments for His existence) Why we believe naturalism is insufficient to explain everything we observe in the universe (fine-tuning, morality, human intangibles like honor, love, trust, creativity which mark us as being made in God s image ) Why we believe the Christian faith (and theism in general) is rational and logical. Why we believe that theism (and Christianity especially) has been responsible for much of the good in human history, and that religion is not the cause of most wars and suffering. Why we believe in the reliability of Scripture, the truth of miracles and the resurrection. Why we believe and insist that religious belief is not going away; why it is, in fact, properly basic to human existence.
